#1 is the best option.
#2's CPU is too powerful for it's GPU.
#3's HDD is too slow for games you might put on it.
#4's CPU is weaker than the other 3 for gaming.

These are all kind of not perfectly put together, some systems have some parts that are better than the parts of others in another. Idealy you'd make a better system by choosing all the right parts of what's available here.
